Big strong workhorse winger who plays large minutes for the Wolves. Big and strong he projects as a power forward at higher levels after some long-term development. Strong on his skates, he poses problems for the opposition in battle zones corners and when parked in front. Works just as hard or harder in his own end where he leads his team in blocked shots and plugging the lateral passing lanes. He plays on his mediocre team’s second power play unit and on the first team penalty kill. May be worth the wait.
